Jonas Valanciunas may be the biggest X
factor in the entire league. If he pans out, the Raptors will be in
great shape in a year or two. If not, they may be destined for a long
lottery run. Robinson could hedge that bet and be a productive
addition next to Valanciunas or Andrea Bargnani.

Washington Wizards- Andre
Drummond- C (Connecticut)

Washington gets great value in this
scenario, drafting a guy in Drummond who might factor in the
discussion at number one.

Another great value in this deep draft,
Gilly immediately makes Trevor Ariza expendable. He may start out
slowly, but he knows how to be effective when he's not scoring the
basketball, which is a promising sign in a young player.

The Gators are on a run that may end up
in the Final Four in New Orleans, and Beal may well be the
beneficiary. He's the best of the lottery shooting guards at creating
for his teammates and he still has that deadly outside shot.

Lamb is great at moving without the
ball and reminds be a little of Richard Hamilton. That worked out
pretty well for the Pistons the first time, who need a scorer to help
Brandon Knight and Greg Monroe.

Jones doesn't really have a position
and his skills still aren't defined enough. With that said, he has a
ton of potential and unless they opt for Jared Sullinger there is a
step decline in value here.

Milwaukee needs a big man to protect
their flashy guards, and Sullinger can play physical inside as well
as anyone on the board. His lack of athleticism will drag him down a
bit, but I'm confident Sullinger will find a way to contribute at the
next level.

Portland Trail Blazers- Meyers
Leonard- C (Illinois)

This is as high as I've had Leonard in
a mock. With the ongoing coaching change at Illinois, it makes a lot
of sense for Leonard to leave. He has great size, and that always
seduces someone. Portland got a dynamic wing earlier with the Net's
pick, so a flyer on a legit seven-footer makes sense here.

Teague has a lot on the line in Atlanta
this weekend. If he shows up, he could sneak into the top 10. If he
falters, he could drop into the 20's. The Hornets add two Kentucky
freshmen in Teague and Kidd-Gilchrist, a combination that could
really help turn the franchise around.

Henson has worked really hard to
improve his footwork and jump shooting. He has become average or
above and that end, and he has his incredible athleticism and shot
blocking. Phoenix needs players all over; they could be really bad as
soon as Steve Nash leaves.

Utah Jazz- Damian Lillard- PG
(Weber State)

Utah needs a point guard and there
aren't many available. Lillard is a shoot first player, but he has
decent size (6'2”) and he can really score.

Tyler Zeller is a less exciting
prospect than his brother Cody or Meyers Leonard, who was chosen at
number 11. He does have great size and fairly polished skills. He's
by far the most NBA ready player of the group and he'll give Houston
even more depth on the inside.

Miller is another guy with a lot at
stake this weekend. If he can carry Baylor into the Final Four, he
could land in the top 10. Otherwise he'll go somewhere around the
late lottery. He is long and very athletic, but still needs some
seasoning. He'd do well with another year in Waco.

Terrence Jones against Arnett Moultrie
would be a really fun 1-on-1 matchup to watch leading up to the
draft. Both men should figure in the discussion at this pick. Jones
has a bigger offensive arsenal, but Moultrie is better defensively.
Jones has slightly higher upside, which may be the deciding factor
here.

Young isn't a polished prospect, but he
has an NBA body and is very athletic. He's been a very productive and
important part of Florida's Elite Eight run, and he could leverage
that into a top 20 pick. Boston could really get younger up front
with these two picks.

Philadelphia 76ers- Terrence Ross-
G/F (Washington)

Philadelphia is one of the best
defensive teams in the league, but they still need scorers,
especially from the outside. Ross can get it done from all over the
board and could become a Paul George-like player at the next level.

Denver Nuggets- Arnett Moultrie- F
(Mississippi State)

Denver is one of the deepest teams in
the league, but they could use another defensive-oriented player
coming off the bench. Moultrie can be just that. He's very athletic
and his size and length will fit in an NBA front court.

The Grizzlies have turned themselves
into legitimate contenders, but they have two choices this upcoming
offseason: Pay OJ Mayo or draft his replacement. Lamb has the
potential to be what Mayo was supposed to be (and could still turn
out to be) at a cheaper price.

Houston is stocked all over the floor,
but is still only the eight seed in the West. They could take the
next step if they can find a gem here. Wroten is lightning quick
offensively and should be able to get his own at the next level.

This is great value for the Hawks, and
although Jeff Teague has been good, Marshall could be much better. He
is the best passer college basketball has seen in quite some time,
and he should be fun to watch on a stacked NBA roster.

24. Indiana Pacers- Royce White- F
(Iowa State)

Royce White is the most interesting
player in college basketball in my opinion. I loved watching him play
Connecticut and Kentucky and can't wait to watch more of him. His
confidence was through the roof and the determining factor here is
how he plays when his confidence wanes.

Cleveland Cavaliers (from LAL)- CJ
Leslie- F (North Carolina State)

Cleveland has a bunch of young guys,
but no one has really stepped up to be Kyrie Irving's number two.
Leslie has had a coming out party this March, and he still has a lot
of room to grow into such a player.

Orlando Magic- Andrew Nicholson-
PF (Saint Bonaventure)

Nicholson is a very mature player who
could play right away for the Magic. Ideally, Orlando needs to
improve at the point guard, but the draft won't be the way to get
that done. Instead, they'll add to their front court depth with a
character guy in Nicholson.

Golden State Warriors (from SAS)-
Dion Waiters- SG (Syracuse)

With two picks in the first round, the
Warriors become the deepest perimeter team in the league. Sure, most
of their pieces are still young, but Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson,
Dion Waiters, Harrison Barnes, and Dorell Wright? That's quite a
rotation to play along with David Lee and Andrew Bogut.

28. Oklahoma City Thunder- Moe
Harkless- PF (Saint John's)

Oklahoma City is good enough that they
can role the dice on a luxury pick here. Harkless has huge upside as
a scorer at the power forward. He could learn a lot from a teammate
like Kevin Durant, and could turn into a Zach Randolph-type player.

29. Miami Heat- Draymond Green- F
(Michigan State)

Green is a very unqiue player. Along
with Roye White, he is one of the most versatile players available,
but his leadership and basketball IQ are excellent, as well. Someone
will offer him a home late in the first, even if it's not the Heat.

30. Chicago Bulls- John Jenkins- SG
(Vanderbilt)

Jenikins is considered the best pure
shooter in the class, and that's exactly what the Bulls need. Richard
Hamilton has helped, but three point shooting is still not his forte.
